Quote: Just realised I never came back to update this thread. She's absolutely fine now! A week or so after the original surgery, her foot was much better looking, the swelling between the toes had gone down, but she still had a puffy swollen and hot ankle. As the wound on the bottom of her...

If you soak and scrub gently till the foot's clean, the obvious sign of bumblefoot is a round black scab somewhere on the foot... Hey, how's Tripod doing now? Or was it trinity? Or Scooper? I forget what you ended up calling her...

Quote: I don't think so. She was in a clean cardboard box and I wiped/sprayed the wound again before I bandaged it. I think she just has a really big rip-roaring pussy bumble, that's all. Looking at photos of other bumblefeet, hers is much bigger and more swollen. I changed her bandages just...

Two hours ago I found one of my chickens hopping on one leg. When I examined her, she had a horrible case of bumblefoot - really swollen and puffy, with it extending up her ankle too. I phoned my friend who is the local vet for some supplies and after reading through the surgery threads on here...
